Question

Using subtraction of signed numbers, find the number of minutes from quarter of an hour to 30 min after the hour.
Write the subtraction of signed numbers.

Answer 1

subtraction of signed numbers...? 0_o
hmm

Answer 2

Maybe this is what they mean... so ummmm...
let's call "the hour" .. ya let's call that time zero.

So a quarter hour before that would be -15 minutes, yes?
And we want to count all the way to 30 minutes past the hour, past the zero point.
So we're counting from -15 to +30.

So we subtract -15 from the 30 to get the total value.

30 - (-15)

Answer 3

Maybe that's the sort of thing they want? 0_o
Does it make sense?

Answer 4

So would I do 30 - (-15) to find my answer

Answer 5

Or is that my answer?

Answer 6

yes you need to calculate 30 - (-15).
It should give you a nice number.
